> REST is HTTP
This is untrue. I hate to quote from Wikipedia, but it sums it up quite nicely: "REST is not a standard in itself, but RESTful implementations make use of standards, such as HTTP, URI, JSON, and XML"
More colloquially: REST is what happens when people mix up transport layers in their head.
HTTP is an implementation of REST.
This is more the point I was trying to make.
It's also untrue.
